Memphis Carlton Miniature Limited Edition

Product Information:

The Carlton miniatures, designed by Ettore Sottsass, and the Ginza miniatures, designed by Masanori Umeda, were created to celebrate the iconic power of the objects created by the Memphis movement. These objects are not only functional, but represent real design symbols, becoming an integral part of our collective imagination. Both creations appeal to an audience that goes beyond mere design enthusiasts to collectors eager to admire miniature versions of famous historical pieces. Their beauty lies in the care with which every detail has been recreated, from materials to colours, while maintaining a high degree of fidelity to the original. The Carlton bookcase in particular is a perfect reproduction on a scale of 1:4, produced in a limited edition of only 1000 numbered pieces, with special attention paid to the smallest details that make it almost indistinguishable from the original model exhibited in museums. Each piece is stamped under the base with a serial number, testifying not only to its authenticity but also to the exclusive value of an object that transcends mere function to become a true work of art to be collected and admired.
